Sunderland managed to win this game with some excellent defending and goal line clearances. Star men were Alec Jackson and Peter Renshaw who work so hard in the defence and midfield. Jackson made some great tackles and Renshaw worked hard in the middle and cleared 2 off the line, one heading for the top corner.

Sunderland started the game with only 7 men as a car got lost on the way (Rocket, Calllum, Bibby and Greenwood)!! With the keeper in the car Wilkinson stepped in only wearing a helment and golves until they arrived. Sunderland held out for 10mins and kept the score at 0-0 playing some nice hockey, keeping the ball and even getting themselves 2 penalty corners, hitting the inside of the post with one.

Once Sunderland got to full strength they took a 1-0 lead through Rocket from a short corner. They increased there lead from a counter attack Rocket feeding Wilkinson who then played it back to Rocket around the keeper into a empty net! Teessiders then got a penalty corner of there own and fired it under Greenwood. Sunderland then got there 3rd, again a quick counter a 1-2 between Wilkinson and Rocket who then found Dench who rounded the defender and keeper to score.

Sunderland tired in the second half and tried some players in different possitions and Teessiders made it very difficult for Sunderland. Teessiders scoredcan excellent goal themselves and preesured Sunderland for most of the half. Sunderland did have there chances but failed to score and make the game save.

Overall a good win and a good game!!
